Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The level of solar activity remains low. Yesterday's target region NOAA 11785 has shown a marginal decrease in spot area and is now at a similar number of spots as on 7-Jul-2013 (yesterday's values were probably erroneously low). This region continues to be classified by NOAA as a beta-gamma-delta/E-type sunspot group, although the delta spot appears to have weakened. NOAA 11785 has produced two C-class events since yesterday's message, the largest being a C4.5 flare on 8-Jul-2013 at 22:12 UT. Note: the C9.7 flare on 8-Jul-2013 at 01:13 UT (i.e., in the 24-hour period preceding yesterday's message) was from 11785 but mis-assigned to a different solar location. Further C-class events are expected in the next 24 hours, with a chance for an isolated M-class event.
The position of NOAA 11785 on 9-Jul-2013 at 09:00 UT is:
S09W21, ( 335", -205" )
